ReoLab – A Hardware Language for Biochemistry

ReoLab

Electronics are built using the language of circuit design: discrete elements such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors can be assembled into complex machines like the personal computer. In biochemistry, technicians, scientists, and their robotic counterparts use test-tubes, pipettes, and other “glassware style” tools to handle fluids, elicit reactions, and take measurements. The underlying hardware language of biochemistry has not changed in more than a century.

ReoLab is creating the first modern hardware language for biochemistry: discrete, miniaturized modules that can be rapidly assembled into reactors and instruments with arbitrary complexity and scalability. We aim to accelerate drug discovery by disrupting the $25B market segment for preclinical contract research. Pharma and biopharma customers send us their complex screening protocols, we send them back data – with game changing benefits to speed, reduced reagent use, precision, and flexibility.
